Cause Of Unhappiness.

Happiness is not dependent on what
one has, but on ones estimate Of what
he has. II look ut what I have not,
and think myself unhappy" says a wise
thinker; "others look at what have,
and think me happy" Happiness is
more likely to be found in the heart of
one whom the world deems sore tried,
than in the heart of one who seems IA
vored above others. Happiness comes
of grateful trust in God, who aas
ordered lovingly and wisely all the lot
of the trusting one. Unhappiness comes
of a desire to have ones own way and
to crafty ones own longings. rather
than to leave the issue with God. Even
God Himself can not give happiness to
one who is unwilling to leave his case
with God. He who does restfully leave
his case with God, is thereby shut out
from the possibility of unhappiness.-

A Duty Of Forgetting.

With the lessons of the past we have
to do, but with the past itself we have
nothing to do. The duty incumbent
upon us is to 60 forward, forgetting the
things that are behind; and the most
manly, as we'll as the most Christian,
course is to put away from our thoughts
any past that would hinder us in our
forward career. There is a duty of for
getting as well as duty of remember
ing, and the wisest thing for any man
to do, who is oppressed by the memory
of his past, is--calmly recognizing his
own weakness and imperfection and
sin, and resolving henceforward to live
an earnest and straightforward life-to
lay down humbly and trustfully the
past, with all its error and wrong, at
the feet of the Divine, and to leave the
rest to the mercy of the Most Merciful.

ago, by Cardinal Newman, Of the
"Lyra Apostolica," which the eminent
scholar and divine first issued nearly
fifty years previously, brings to recol'
lection the circumstances under which
1t was first prepared. Full of deep de-
lection, as he was, over the condition
of the English church, and so concerned
for its future welfare that he felt in his
soul that there was urgent necessity
for second reformation, in company
with Richard Hurnell Froude, he made
q journey to the south of Europe for the
purpose of receiving temporary
change Of residence, in order that he
might quietly reflect on the situation
Of affairs in his native land. While
journeying in the Eternal City" the
two friends began to write poems, and
to forward them to England for
publication. These were sub
sequently included in the
volume "Lyra Apostolica'). They
borrowed copy of Homer, and. on
looking it over, selected as motto the
language uttered by Achilles on his re.
turn to battle: "You shall know tho
difference, now that am back again"
Leaving his companion in Rome. New
man departed for Palermo. but was
taken i'll on the journey. One day his
servant found him sitting up in bed
weeping, and asked him the cause OF
grief. The only reply he returned was:
"Ihave work to do; I must go back to
England" So soon as he was able to
travel he set sail on an orange vessel
for Marseilles, and it was during the
voyage that he wrote-and from the
very depths of his heart-the words be-
ginning:
"Lead kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom,
Lead Thou me on!
The night is dark, and ON far from homo; /;
Lead Thou me onr

BOHEMIA'S CAPITAL.
A City Which Recalls the Poculiaritios g
the Orient.


A general view of Prague gives an
impression decidedly oriental. Some OF
its church towers seem like the minar-
cts of a mosque. Others have Byzan-
tine look. In no other city of Europe
are massive buildings large enough to
be called palaces more numerous. One
Of the old palaces near the station
where you arrive in coming from Dres-
den has been transformed into pow
der magazine. The old palace of the
Kings of Bohemia close by is now a
barrack. In the old portions of the
city. on the right bank, there is
still some Of the strong aspect OF
the Hradschin, but commerce is grad
ually softening it. New streets are
being made that are filled with hand
some shops. Broader thoroughfares
are being set with trees, and there are
some well-kept parks and public gar
dens. The public buildings, aside from
the palaces, are not remarkable for
beauty, though there are exceptions.
The city hall, which in the German
speaking countries of Europe is called
the Rathouse Rathaus) is curious archi-
tecturally, and remarkable for its astro-
nomcal clock, which excites the atten-
ton of every tourist. 1t is a full curri.
culum in the study of the service of as.
tronomy. Near by is church which
contains the tomb of Tycho Brahe, the
Danish astronomer, who came here al
the invitation of the Emperor Rudolph

tails, has its Academy of Fine Arts, ant

DEATH.

He plucks the pain from youthful breast
And stills the groan Of burdened agc
He lays the suffering down to rest,
And drives the cruel from the stage.
He takes no bribe, he fears no threat;
But walks the land and sweeps the sea;
Throws back the doors whose hinges fret
And sets the godlike spirit free.
He raps the door Of rich and poor;
Goes through the earth with noiseIess feet
He shakes his glass at prince and bOor,
Then winds them In his icy sheet.
He's strange and cold, breaks bolts and bars
Dethrones the King unbinds tho slave:
He walls the sun, and hides the stars,
And lays nation in its grave

Identification of Prisoners.

The latest method of identifying
prisoners which has been introduced
into France by M. Alphonse Bertillon,
and which is now successfully practiced
not only in the chief French prisons,
but in Russia and Japan as well, is the
exact measurement of the prisoner on
his arrival at the Jail. His waist, the
length and width Of his head, the left
middle finger, the left foot, the out
stretched arms, the three other fingers
of the left hand, the left arm from the
elbow to the wrist, and the length and
width of the ear are measured, and the
color Of the eyes and any particularities
are noted down. A photograph is also
Immediately taken, and by these means
the many mistakes which have been
made by trusting to a photographer only
are avoided.-N. Y. Post.

At meeting of the hospital commit
tee of the Board of Guardians of the
poor, DR.. Mclaughlin, chief physician
of the Philadelphia Hospital. presented
a report of the success Of a treatment
adopted about a month ago for patients
in that institution who were suffering
from consumption. He said that so
far the success of the treatment was
marvellous, and in cases where the pa
tients had agreed to submit to the
methods adopted, no other has been
used. DIR. Mclaughlin first obtained
the idea from paper read before the
College of Science, at recent meeting
in Paris, by one Of the professors in the
University Of Lyons. 1t was recon-
mended SO highly and has shown such
surprising results in France that DR..
Mclaughlin decided to test it in the
hospital. He explained the treatment
to the patients, and thirty Of them

At Texarkana, Ark, two weeks ago
Walter Ridgley, a wealthy farmer, shot
and killed two ferrymen who were trying
to get exorbitant pay Of St.
Louis drummer for putting him
across the river. Ridgley took the
drummer's part. The ferrymen insulted
him for this and attempted to draw their
weapons, when Ridgley shot them both
dead. Upon examination Rldgley was
discharged. John Murphy, brother of
one of the men killed, and an uncle,
swore they would kill Ridgley on sight.
Last night Ridgley was riding home Oh
horseback, and on entering strip of
weeds was fired upon from ambush.
His horse fell dead, but the rider escaped
unframed and rolled over on the opposite
side of the horse to that from which the
shooting proceeded. Thinking Ridgley was
dead, they approached; when within
about ten feet Ridgley suddenly raised up
and shot both his assailants dead. This
makes four men Ridgley has killed over
simple ferryboat transaction.
One year ago this month one of the
bloodiest murders of human beings known
was committed near Erie, Kansas. J.W.
Sell, well-to-do farmer, and his whole
family excepting one son, Willie, boy
1C years old, were found murdered, their
heads being crushed and their throats cut.
There has been a great diversity OF opin-
ion as to whether or not Willie Sell CON-
mitted the murder. On the trial there
was no evidence and the state failed to
find any motive for the crime. On the
contrary it was proven that Willie was an
exceptionally good boy and that he and
his sister Ina were more than commonly
fond of each other. The boy has now
confessed that his father, on the night of
the murder, had quarrel with his son
Walt, when the latter struck his father
with hatchet. Willie obtained the
hatchet from Walt and knocked Walt
down. The mother and sister came into
the room screaming, and Willie knocked
them down. In his frenzy he cut his
brother Waits throat, then declared that
if any of the others came to life he feared
they would declare he had killed Walt, |
and so he cut their throats. The recital |
to the facts ascertained at the
trial.
